This is only a wild guess but you may need to calculate the document size ahead of time and set a "Content-length" header

header("Content-length: " . strlen($document));

You will have to store your output in a string so you can calculate the length (output buffering might help capture your usage of xlsWriteLabel)

ob_start();
xlsBOF();
xlsWriteLabel();
// etc etc
xlsEOF();
$document = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
header("Content-length: " . strlen($document));
echo $document;
exit();
